Not delivering up to its reputation

When playing a course like Normal Signature, home of Mexico Open, expectations are at the level of the price they charge. Not well organized, delay in getting a cart to club house, delay in getting a cart. Sandy fairways, spiked greens. All of these should be mentioned ahead of time or price in accordance to conditions. Was still a fun round, thanks to Francisca, great caddie. But not as it should have been. For the rest, Vidanta should deliver to customers’ expectations.

The staff here are rude

I played this course with a 2:40 tee-off. We had to play with a cadi who started off really nice. We actually bought him drinks and food and he helped us at first. After the 10th hole the pace of play slowed down and at times there were 4 groups on one hole. We still paid good money to play and wanted to finish. They turned the sprinklers on at the 16th hole and our cadi basically stopped doing anything. You could tell he wanted to leave. We ended up finishing the last hole with little light and our cadi became rude. He banged on the cart and shouted directions as we made our way back to the clubhouse. We intended on giving him a great tip as it’s Christmas but he left us with a bad taste. We paid him with a 20% tip and he looked at us like he was insulted. This place portrays itself as a top tier course and it’s nothing even close to that. Save your money and don’t waste your time. By the way, from arriving it takes about 45 minutes till you are actually at the driving range. I wouldn’t recommend this place

Fantastic Time!

My father-in-law and I played the day after Christmas and we had a great time. He rented, almost brand new Titleist clubs and I brought mine. Our caddie, Leonel, was amazing and well worth the $40 bucks (we gave him much more than that!). The course was in great shape and the pace was good. We had an early tee time and I recommend planning at least ~45 minutes before your time. The taxi dropped us off inside the complex at a shuttle station and no one really helped us until our golf shuttle showed up. Plan to wait about 10 minutes there and it is another 10 minutes to the pro shop. Once you checkin and pay, it is another 10 minute ride in your cart to the driving range. I will definitely play again and book through GolfNow because the rate was so much better and the savings covered my double margaritas!

Cart service and caddy were great,could have used some food options as their wasnt anything close by on the course,you drive a km to first hole and finish away from buildings as well.

Norman course Puerto Vallarta

This is the course of the Mexican Open and while it offered up some good challenge, it was rather ho hum fly dynamic holes. We loved our caddy he was very helpful with reading greens and finding our way fro green to tee box…, very confusing!!

There was no stopping at the turn and the snack shack was closed even though the course was packed. Overall, if you don’t get a fantastic rate from Golf Now, you way over paid.

Vidanta Norman

Great course. It would have been tough to find all the holes if we didn’t have a caddie to help us. Greens are hard to read and finding pace early is crucial, so take those extra practice putts before playing.

Different.

Nothing was really wrong, just odd. It took 30 minutes to get from where a taxi dropped you off at the entrance to the course and another 15 minutes to get to the driving range with check in, etc. The course is in excellent condition, but not memorable. We had a wonderful forecaddie who made a slow round better.
